4 A 1.0-g bullet moving with a speed of 1000 m/s strikes a 10-kg wooden block resting
on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block and the embedded bullet then slide
across the surface.
(a) What is the speed of the "bullet + block" system immediately after the bullet is
embedded in the block?

5. A disk with a 1.0-m radius has initial angular speed of 18 rad/s. It slows down uniformly
and makes 35 revolutions before it finally stops. How long does it take for the disk to
stop?
ωi = 18 rad/s, ωf = 0
θ = 35 rev × 2π rad/rev = 220 rad
ωi + ω f
θ= t
